I have been trying to withdraw my funds for weeks now, but every time I submit a request, I get asked for more verification documents. It’s incredibly frustrating, and the customer support has been slow to respond. I feel stuck with my money.

The MT4 platform is great for trading, and I appreciate the variety of instruments available. I’ve found the execution speed to be fast, and I’ve had a decent experience overall. However, I wish the customer support was available 24/7.

I had a terrible experience with GTC MARKETS. I deposited funds, but when I tried to withdraw, it was like pulling teeth. Their support team is unresponsive, and I suspect I may have fallen victim to a scam. Avoid at all costs!

I’ve been trading with GTC MARKETS for a few months now, and I’m quite satisfied. The account setup was easy, and I love the flexibility of trading on both desktop and mobile. The spreads are competitive, and I’ve had no issues so far!
